2019 VAUXHALL ASTRA K cruise control

Driving and operating195distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
When the time to a potential collision
with a vehicle in front gets too small
and a collision is imminent, the
collision alert symbol pops-up in the
Driver Information Centre and the
driver gets notified by a warning
chime sound.
Depress the brake pedal and steer the vehicle, if it is required by the
situation.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
Press V or E to set the alert
sensitivity to near, medium or far and
on some versions off.
The first button press shows the
current setting on the Driver
Information Centre. Additional button
presses will change this setting. The
chosen setting will remain until it is
changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.Note that the alert timing sensitivity
setting is shared with the following
distance setting of the adaptive cruise control. So changing the alert timing
sensitivity changes the adaptive
cruise control following distance
setting.
Deactivation The system can be deactivated.
On forward collision alert with radar
sensor the system can be disabled by
the personalisation menu, 3 124.

Driving and operating197On Uplevel display, select Info menu
via steering wheel buttons and press
o to select following distance
indication 3 114.
The minimum indicated distance is 0.5 seconds.
If there is no vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is out of range, two
dashes will be displayed: -.- sec.
If Adaptive cruise control is active,
this page shows the alert sensitivity
setting instead of following distance
setting. 3 186.
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and obstacles
directly ahead, when a collision can no longer be avoided either by
manual braking or by steering. Before the active emergency braking
applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision alert 3 194.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react for
pedestrians or animals. After a
sudden lane change, the system
needs a certain time to detect the
next preceding vehicle.
The driver shall always be ready to take action and apply the brakes
and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
If equipped only with front camera the active emergency braking operates in
forward gear above walking speed up to 53 mph.
With radar sensor active emergency
braking operates in forward gear
above walking speed at all speeds.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert with front camera system is not
deactivated by pressing V on the
steering wheel 3 194 or, with radar
sensor, that it is not deactivated in the
vehicle personalisation menu 3 124.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
